Stop Building Your List and Start Building Your Business

Ready to transform your lead magnets from list-building tools into actual money-making assets for your online course business? 🚀

If you're like most course creators, you've been told to create lead magnets just to grow your email list. But what if I told you that your lead magnets should be doing so much more?

In this episode, I'm sharing a complete mindset shift around lead magnets that completely transformed my business. Instead of treating them as mere “freebies,” discover how to position your lead magnets as the first chapter in your customer's success story—and the first step in your sales process.

After a personal revelation looking back at my first (terrible) lead magnet from 2015, I realized what separates successful online course creators from those still struggling: understanding that lead magnets aren't just about collecting emails—they're your first opportunity to make a compelling offer and showcase your unique approach.

“Your lead magnet isn't just content. Your lead magnet is the beginning of your promise of transformation. And if that promise doesn't align with your paid offer, you're breaking trust before you even build it.” ✨

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Discover why most lead magnets fail to convert subscribers into paying customers
  • Learn my framework for creating lead magnets that naturally pre-sell your course
  • Uncover the critical alignment needed between your freebie and your paid offer
  • Master the art of using lead magnets to practice your offer-making skills
  • Implement the key questions to evaluate and improve your existing lead magnets

Pour yourself a cup of coffee and get ready for some real talk about turning your lead magnets into the powerful business tools they were meant to be! ☕️
